Power Steering Pressure Hose, BMW - MZ3 S54 (2001-2002)

This runs from the power steering pump to the steering rack. At either end is a hard metal line secured with a bolt and copper crush washer. The hose has extra length so the system can have more fluid capacity. Unfortunately it has a lot fittings where rubber hose meets metal line. These fittings are compression crimp-style swage ("swedge") fittings that are very common in the automotive world. These swage fittings are the most common area for PS leaks on your BMW. It's easier to replace the entire line with a new genuine BMW part than to try and repair the line.

Chances are very good that one or more of your MZ3 S54 power steering hoses are leaking. Power steering leaks are a not uncommon trait of BMW ownership. Most of the leaks can be traced to old hoses and fittings that have been in service for too long. Just like cooling hoses and belts, rubber power steering lines need periodic replacement. Don't wait too long to replace a leaking power steering line! It's only going to get worse and coat the underside of your engine in dirty oil. Replace them before they fail in order to save you from further headaches and expenses.
